    I'm a huge fan of Wario Ware and I've played all the version, but this game falls short of the 9's that the other games were. The micro games are some of the best and weirdest that have ever appeared in a wario ware game. Sadly the solo game is EXTREMELY short and there isn't much insentive to replay the characters stage.

The thing that really got me though was how poor the multiplayer was. Pretty much all the variants are hot potato games and make the game too slow to play. There is only 4 multiplayer gametypes which is sad because multiplayer was the thing I was most excited for. I recommend this for any wario ware fan, but if you are unfamiliar with Wario Ware or isn't into beating your highscores then its just a rent.… Expand

    Fun game, but some of the mini games don't make much sense.

    WarioWare: Smooth Moves is great fun, just like the other entries in the series, but has one big problem - it's just too short. Don't get me wrong, all the classic characters were there and some new ones as well (who I really liked), and the individual stories are for me the best any WarioWare game offers bar Touched! on the DS, but I blasted through this in less than a day.

Still, Intelligent Systems have done well here, with some great and really unique microgames thanks to the Wii Remote. I would recommend this, but just be aware it won't last you long. The co-op doesn't really offer much either.… Expand

    I liked it while it lasted but that was all of 5 hours and the multiplayer did not add anything to it.

    Wario Ware obviously lost its charm and novelty a long time ago. Not a bad game. The major problem with it is that the control aren't always as responsive as they should be and in a game where you have to think fast and act fast to go as far as possible, it's just hard to ignore. As a party game, it does a great job. As a single player experience, Rayman Raving Rabbids is better Wario Ware obviously lost its charm and novelty a long time ago. Not a bad game.

The DS version (Touched!) even if not perfect was a little better, but you should definitely stick to Twisted!… Expand

    It would be a great game if it weren't for a few drabacks. For 1 its waaaay to short. I got it on my birthday and the next day it was on the shelves at GameStop. Secondly, it's just too Japanese.

    It's pretty lackluster compared to the GBA original. Each microgame only has 3 difficulty levels. It doesn't scale up forever like in the GBA game, so there's very little replay value. The multiplayer minigames are lackluster as well.

    A really fun game that utilizes the Wii's controls excellently, though I don't know if there's enough content in the game to warrent a $50 price tag ($30 or $40 would've been better). With that said, this is one the wildest and funniest games I've played and you are soulless if you don't smile at least once.

With that said, this is one the wildest and funniest games I've played and you are soulless if you don't smile at least once. Some people complain about the graphics, but I think they fit the style perfectly. My biggest complaint is that it would've been nice if each of the mini games had some extended replay to them. For instance, how long can you stay balanced on a ball, or how fast can you do something, etc. and then your performance will give you a rating or unlock trophies or something. Also, I really really wish you could've skipped the cut scenes. A couple were funny, but most drag on way too long (i.e. the dancing cats and dogs).… Expand

    If you're not a fan of previous warioware games, you won't like this one. If you _are_ a big fan, you'll find some fresh content here, definitely some new stuff that most will find enjoyable.

    Smooth mooves as some of the best fun you can have with friends or by yourself... for about an hour. The problem with such short minigames is that they don't add up to much game. Anybody with a pulse and a working body will have fun with Smooth Mooves, but just not for long. Surely worth renting.

    First of all, let's set from the beginning that this is a party-like game composed by microgames that last less than 5 seconds. Due to this, there's no plot.

    Pros: - The wacky sense of humor of the series remains untouched. - Dynamic and fun to play - Exploits the full potential of the wii features Cons: - If you're not familiar to the series, you are going to have a bad time. -    First of all, let's set from the beginning that this is a party-like game composed by microgames that last less than 5 seconds.

    - Some microgame moves were difficult to perform and others didn't even fit for the game (like "The Discard").
    - Hunting for new microgames after completing all the stage was a hard task, probably because the same games repeated up to 3 times in a set.    … Expand

    Se hace bastante corto en cantidad y duración. Una pena, porque las capacidades del wiimote eran infinitas.

    Fairly fun, if not a little repetitive after a while. Enjoying all the wacky charm this game has, but on the gameplay side it's somewhat weak.

    Where the true value of Warioware lies is in both its multiplayer experience - which, depending on how Mario Party turns out, could be the definitive Wii party game - and it's unrivaled charm.

    I had a great time with Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, and you'll get a lot of value out of the game if you're the type that hosts parties or if you have a group of friends or family already that are enjoying games like "Wii Sports" or "Rayman: Raving Rabbids" together.

    Bigger than before and funny enough to make anyone smile, but control problems annoy. [Feb 2007, p.78]
